The comic is currently on
hiatus! - It is indefinitely on hold. I worked on this comic
several years ago, and my life has changed a lot, since then. I would love
to revisit it someday, perhaps with a tightened script, if I can come up with one
that holds up to the story, but with more do-able pacing. However, I am sorry to say
that I can't say when or if I will be picking up the pen for this project again, though
if I do, I will let you know! Thank you very much for reading this comic! You can follow

Dracula was written by Bram Stoker, in 1897.
It has since spawned countless stage and film adaptations, and
unofficial sequels and prequels. It has inspired a hoard of modern
vampire stories of all sorts. Vampires are one of our favorite
monsters! Even without reading the original story, the pop culture
image of Dracula, with his black cape, widow's peak and thick accent, is
prevalent and instantly recognizable.

With so many interpretations
and derivative works available of the original novel, a comic version
with cartoon animal characters might seem like a strange little idea for
a project. I originally started this webcomic back in 2003. I wanted
to practice my comic book illustration, and was looking for a public
domain work to tackle, as a personal exercise. I've been a fan of the
story for a long time, and after developing a few concept illustrations
that I liked, I chose Dracula.

I set out to accomplish several
things. I wanted to adapt this story in a fashion that stayed true to
the original text. I wanted to create an impression of the events
happening around the letters, diary entries and newspaper clippings that
comprise the novel, fleshing it out where I felt necessary, but not
making radical changes to the flow of the story or the plot. I wanted
to put a spin on my character designs that would evoke a sense of
innocence. Victorian values are not our values in the 21st century. My
thought was that animal characters might remind the reader of childhood
stories, and help to recreate a sense that what's happening in
this story is a destruction of innocence by a true monster, and
not a modern tale where the vampire is a misunderstood, appealing
hero.
